Funzionamento e ricarica
This battery is designed for both standby and cycle use. Proper charging is crucial for battery longevity and performance. Always use a charger compatible with Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) AGM batteries.
Recommended Charging Parameters:
| Usa Tipo | Voltage Regolamento | Corrente iniziale |
|---|---|---|
| Uso in pausa | 13.5-13.8 V | 3.9A |
| Uso del ciclo | 14.5-14.9 V | 7.8A |
Note operative importanti:
- Evitare scariche profonde: Do not allow the battery voltage to drop below 10.5V, as this can cause irreversible damage and significantly shorten the battery's life.
- Ventilazione: Ensure the charging area is well-ventilated. Do not charge the battery in a sealed container or confined space.
- Sostituzione regolare: For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to replace the battery every 3-5 years, depending on usage patterns and environmental conditions.

- Magazzinaggio: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged before storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Periodically check the voltage (every 3-6 months) and recharge if necessary to prevent deep discharge.
- Ispezione: Regularly inspect the battery for any signs of physical damage, swelling, cracks, or leaks. If any issues are observed, discontinue use immediately and replace the battery.
Risoluzione dei problemi
If you experience issues with your battery, consider the following common problems and potential solutions:
- La batteria non mantiene la carica:
- Controllare il caricabatterie: Ensure your battery charger is functioning correctly and providing the specified voltage and current for AGM batteries.
- Scarica profonda: The battery may have been deeply discharged below 10.5V, which can cause permanent damage and reduce its ability to hold a charge.
- Età della batteria: Batteries have a finite lifespan (typically 3-5 years). If the battery is old, its capacity may have naturally degraded, requiring replacement.
- Basso volumetage Uscita:
- Connessioni: Verify all terminal connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. Loose or corroded connections can cause significant voltage gocce.
- Carico: Ensure the electrical load on the battery does not exceed its rated capacity. Overloading can lead to voltage abbassamento.
- Battery Overheating During Charge:
- Charger Settings: Confirm the charger settings match the recommended voltage and current for cycle or standby use as specified in this manual. Incorrect settings can lead to overcharging and overheating.
- Ventilazione: Ensure adequate ventilation around the battery during charging. High ambient temperatures can also contribute to overheating.
